metres
1 km = 1000 m and you are going from a smaller unit (m) to a larger one (km), so divide by the conversion factor. 38000 / 1000 = 38 km ■
6 km equals 6000 m which is greater than 660 m
millimeter
Smaller
smaller. Convert to the same units, then compare: Kilo- prefix means 1000. → 1 km = 1000 m 1000 < 1500 → 1000m < 1500 m → 1 km < 1500 m
metres
A centimeter is smaller. 1 cm = .01 m 1 km = 1,000 m
1 km = 1000 m and you are going from a smaller unit (m) to a larger one (km), so divide by the conversion factor. 38000 / 1000 = 38 km ■
6 km equals 6000 m which is greater than 660 m

Smaller
When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit there will be more of them, so multiply by the conversion factor; eg km to m: there a 1000m in 1 km, so multiply by 1000 so 2.4 km = 2.4 x 1000 m = 2400 m When converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit there will be less of them so divide by the conversion factor; eg m to km: there are 1000m in 1 km so divide by 1000, so 2400 m = 2400 ÷ 1000 km = 2.4 km
A cm is smaller. Not just in math but in real life!
There are 1500 m in 1.5 km
1m = 0.001 km
4400 m is larger. 1000 m per km. 4400 m = 4.4 km.
